From my perspective, it would be desirable if you would embrace
products from Zotac and J&W, both companies produce products which are pushing the next generation of computer builds. With the `new` openness from ATI and NVidia, surely it is possible to embrace these newer motherboards, rather than what I see as support for `dated` component. Regards, David. /

such as? URL? name of board?

Do you have the URL for the open bios developer's guide for nvidia parts?
thanks

David,
If you get us the NVIDIA specs on the chipsets we'd be glad to support them :) We'll need all the register specifications and the BIOS developer guides. See if you can get NVIDIA to release them without an NDA they way VIA has at : http://linux.via.com.tw/

Please tell us which boards (name, URL) you want to see supported.

Please tell us where we can download NVidia specs and register guides. We would like to support their current chipsets, but we can't get the docs.
Support for recent AMD/ATI chipsets is being worked on and will hopefully be released soon.

J&W minix780G-SP128MB. To be used with AMD Calisto.
The AMD Callisto should not be a problem. Our AMD CPU support is up-to-date. The AMD 780G chipset is not supported yet, but AMD are working on it and I heard the code is ready for release and just needs an OK from the lawyer team.
Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi. To be used with Intel E5200 cpu
The CPU seems to be supported in coreboot The GeForce 9300 chipset is not supported because we can't get any docs for it. If you have contacts at NVidia who can release specifications and programming guides for the GeForce 9300, please tell them we'd like to support that chipset if we get the docs.
Regards, Carl-Daniel
